All Chapters of Always Be Mine: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Maya's P.O.VThere were moments in life where I suddenly felt as if the world was slowly disappearing right in front of my eyes. Or was it just me that was fading away. All I wanted to do was just run away from everyone and be by myself.For weeks on end, I try to bury myself in endless amounts of work and assignments to forget the pain, but it wasn't easy. No matter how many million times I try not to remind myself, the pain was real.Apart from going to school, I try to leave my room as much as possible when needed for tasks such as getting groceries, dry cleaning, and gas station. I spent most of my time in school hidden in the library. With the semester coming to an end, I threw myself entirely into finals. With myself in complete shut down from the world, I rarely thought about Ethan when I was studying.Even if I were at home, I'd still viciously study to keep my mind away from him. But then when it was time for me to sleep, no matter how hard I refused to think about him, whene

Ethan's P.O.VWe spend the next few days talking on the phone, texting and seeing each other at school whenever we can. Between football practice, studying, and spending time with Maya, you could say that my schedule was full to the maximum.During the week, I'd focus on football practice and she'd study her cute ass off for finals, and during the weekend, we'd come together and talk about our week.My only motivation to get through the week was because, during the weekends, I could spend the whole day with Maya instead of seeing her for only a few hours. It was like our weekly routine.It was currently Saturday and the first thing I do when I wake up is dial Maya's phone, eager to see her."Good morning," a cute sleepy voice croaks out."Come over with me," I asked her through the phone."To do what?""We can do anything," I said, "as long as it includes a bed.""What can we do that requires a bed?" She asked."For starters, we can watch a movie together.""I like the sound of that,"

Ethan's P.O.VOnce the bell rang, the first thing that came to my mind was seeing Maya after school. It has turned into a sort of routine that we've created. It didn't matter if we were hanging out or not, a minute of seeing her face and a goodbye was all I need before I had to endure half a day without her.The principal's assistant knocks on the door. "Ethan Morrison to the principal's office please."My friends all laughed at me. I repetitively cussed them out and didn't care what they thought about it. Great, now I was going to be late to see Maya.Pushing through the crowds of people, I try to get there as fast as I could so I could leave quickly. Once I entered the room, I see our principal resting his elbows against the desk, eyebrows raised at my appearance.He takes out a piece of paper from under his desk.ATTENDANCE RECORD"It's come to my attention that you've missed quite a lot of classes," Mr. Hendrickson said.He was our school principal, which meant that when there was

Instead of doing the usual studying, I spent all weekend too busy being angry at Ethan to do anything productive.When I wasn't thinking about being angry about Ethan, I was busy missing him.If it was a few months ago, I would be fine not texting Ethan for weeks on end. Actually, we didn't even text for seventeen years until months ago.Now, he was a big part of my daily routine. Whether it was the weekdays or weekends, receiving a message from him always made me happier.Not to say that he didn't send me any texts over the weekend, because he did. A lot actually.He sent me hundreds of texts saying he was sorry and that he wasn't going to go to Celine's house anymore, and it took me all I had to ignore every single one of them. I made sure to read his texts to show him that I've seen his messages but do not want to reply.Yes, I am at that level of pety.Maybe I went a little overboard but he needed to know that I didn't like it when he went to another girl's house. Okay, it was to

Maya's P.O.VWhen I woke up Wednesday morning, I was feeling all groggy and tired. I stood in front of my closet, deciding what outfit I should put on as I get ready for the day. Today was only a half-day which typically still was a full-day for me as I'd stay in the library and study. "Let's go eat frozen yogurt today!" Leah exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air."I'm probably going to the library to study," I said."Definitely not, it's a half-day for a reason!""Still, I have a lot of catching up to do.""I'll pay for your froyo," Leah grinned, knowing she had me at that.This time, I decided to order a different flavor, matcha, instead of the original that I always had since I was a kid. I didn't know what came over me, but I felt adventurous today. We sat and talked mostly about prom, how we were going to style our hair, our dresses, the usual. After our frozen yogurt hangout session, a text pops up on my phone. It's from Ethan.Ethan: I'll be outside the frozen yogurt p
